Unsigned 2025 Event

Check-in begins at 5pm
The Unsigned Showcase returns this spring after a four-year hiatus following the COVID-19 pandemic.
In May of 2021, the NERR staff hosted the Unsigned Senior Virtual Showcase which was designed to capitalize on the visibility and credibility of the various NERR platforms to help unsigned seniors get the late exposure they needed after spring recruiting was shut down.
That initiative proved to be more successful than we ever could have imagined. All 50 unsigned seniors who participated ended up being actively recruited by college programs, including over 20 from the scholarship level.
Prospects such as Cam Dunbury (St. Rose), Kevin Constant (Le Moyne), Dan Braster (NYIT), Nic Button (St. Michael's), Will Rywolt (Stonehill), Declan Nugent (Le Moyne), Evan Gutowski (Southern Connecticut), Marlon Short (Stanislaus State), and Sean James (Southern Connecticut) had all committed to Division II schools following the virtual showcase. Others such as Mohamed Sanogo (FIU) and Leon Williams (Gardner-Webb) received D1 interest following the event, but ultimately decided to stick around for postgraduate years.
The return of the Unsigned Event will look a lot different than the aforementioned virtual showcase, as players will be able to compete directly in front of college coaches in attendance. Each participant will go through showcase games to show their skill sets to those watching on.
Upon checking in, players will go through a few important “combine” reminiscent tests including measurements of their height, wingspan, and vertical jump. This information will be distributed to all of the college coaches in attendance to add to the depth that NERR goes to provide college exposure.
Prior to the start of play, we will host a panel with coaches at various levels of the college game, and postgraduate. This will provide the participating prospects with a wealth of knowledge of potential opportunities moving forward, and advice on how they can proceed with their attempts to play at the next level.
The New England Recruiting Report strives to provide the best college exposure in the region, and with a plethora of college coaches watching on, as well as numerous throughout the country following our social media channels and website, we believe the unsigned players in attendance will have the ability to maximize the opportunity.
Spots for this event are very limited and the demand for registration is expected to be very high.
